I have a Savage Bmag as a truck/tractor gun that takes a beating. The factory bluing/parkerizing has a few scratches and dings that are starting to rust.
A local shop has just gotten set up to do Cerakoting (not sure if it's really Cerakote, may be a similar type of product).
I'm thinking about having my gun coated in a nickel/stainless color because I love a stainless rifle, and the extra durability and corrosion resistance would be nice.
The thought of selling my gun and getting a factory Bmag in stainless crossed my mind, but I think it will end up costing quite a bit more. I doubt I could get much more than 200 dollars for my rifle, and a new one will cost around 400. That's double the cost of the coating.
Anybody else had this done? How does it look and hold up?
